Nothing deep but I just finished a 10 book series by dawn lee McKenna, the forgotten coast suspense series. I haven’t plowed through 10 books so fast in my life.

I'm curently reading The Spaceship Next Door by Gene Doucette.

I am in the middle of re-reading Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, by ; Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
Although I do have a bit of a Physics background, I pale in comparison to the majors of that field.
Neil Puts forth some complex ideas into laymens terms, and still make it interesting.
He seems to do that a lot, especially when he hosted Cosmos.

Any way, it's a good read. I highly recomend it.

I read the Confederacy of Dunces many, many years ago. I did love it.

I have no time for any pleasure reading unfortunately, but I am reading A Paradise Built in Hell by Rebecca Solnit for school. It's pretty good! The 1st chapter is about the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco.

Lol... The New Hormone Solution by Erika Schwartz MD. It's a 2017 book that refutes the Women's Health Initiative study.

Finshed A Confederacy of Dunces a while back and had the same reaction you did - knew from the first pages I would enjoy the story.

Just finished Bad Blood (about the Theranos fiasco); The Alienist and started Atonement while also reading Grant's Memoirs before I read Chernow's book on Grant. Also enjoying the Cadfael series of books when I want a quick read.

The novel Circe, by Madeline Miller. I just read Song of Achilles and absolutely loved it. I'm tempted to read it again. Circe is just as good!

Right now I'm reading Pirate (Tides Of Fortune Book 1)
A point of view from a seventeen year old pirate. He grows up quickly to become a leader. Very good read.

I just got done reading a scholarly collection of Viking mythology, it was pretty cool

Albert Einstein by Walter isaacson. Really loving it. Hope someday I get davinci.
